MECHANICAL MOVEMENT.

SPEGIFICATIONforming part'of Letters Patent No. 444,285, dated January6, 1891.

7 Application filed September 4, 1390.

Be it known that I, ALBIN WARTH, a cititon, in the county of Richmondand State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements inMechanical Movements, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain improvements in that class ofmechanical movements which I have described in Letters Patent No.390,926, granted to me October 9, 1888, and the object of which is toimpart motion to a tool or implement which while in action has to bemoved from one place to another such, for instance, as a polishing orgrinding wheel for cutting out garments.

The improvements which form the subjectmatter of this presentapplication for a patentare pointed out in the following specifi- Figure1 represents a plan or top View. Fig. 2 is a side elevation. Fig. 3 is atransverse vertical section in the plane a; 00, Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is apartial vertical section on a larger scale than the previous figures,the plane of section being indicated by the line y y, Fig. 1. Fig. 5 isa section in the plane z 2, Figs. 1 and 6. Fig. 6 is a section in theplane a .2, Fig. 5. Fig.7 is a sectional view of acuttingmy invention ona larger scale than the previous figures.

In the drawings,the letters A Adesignate work to be operated upon.Between these cured to one of the tables or to the floor or walls, ascircumstances may require. This may be provided with two or more wheelsct a,

able means. In the example illustrated in the drawings the carriage isprovided with a two wheels 0 0, Figs. 2 and 3, and these wheels arebrought to act upon the opposite sides of smart. 363,884. (No model.)

a flat rail d which runs parallel with the rail B. By these means thecarriage D is free to move from one end of the rail B to the other, itis always kept in an upright position, and it leaves the entire surfaceof the table or tables free for the adjustment of the work.

From the carriage D extends an arm E,approximately at right angles tothe rail B. This arm,which I shall hereinafter designate as thesupporting-arm, is fastened to the carriage by means of a screw-bolt 6.(Best seen in Fig. 4.) This screw-bolt extends through a bracket e,which is provided with a tubular projection 6 and in order to retainsaid arm at right angles to the rail B a latch fis provided, which issecured to the inner end of the arm by a set-screw g. hen the latch israised, the supporting-arm E can be adjusted at any desired angle to therail, and when the nut of the screw-bolt e is released thesupporting-arm can swivel on the tubular projection e This movement isof advantage for certain manipulations. In the example represented inthe drawings the supporting-arm E extends at right-angles to the rail Bover the table A, and its outer end serves to support the balance-arm F.The connection withthe supporting-armE is eifected by a plate 6 and abracket 6 which is provided with lugs 6 Figs. 3, .5, and (3, and-by aplate f", which is secured to the balance-arm and provided with lugs f,which straddle the lugs c and are connected to the same by pivots f slotf through which extends a screw-bolt f, so that it can be moved in thedirection of its length upon the plate f and-adj usted in the requiredposition by tightening the nut of the screw-bolt f. The plate e and thebracket c are connected by a pivot a, so that the balance-arm F can beturned in a horizontal plane on this pivot 6 while it is free to swingin a vertical plane on the pivots f 2 f On one end of the balance-arm issecured the tool G and on its opposite end is fast ened a motor H, suchas an electromotor or a pneumatic motor, from which motion is impartedto a shaft I, which is mounted in the In the balance-arm is formed abalancearm and from which motion is transmitted to the tool G. In theexample shown in the drawings this tool is a cutting-tool for cuttingout garments, such as shown and described in Letters Patent No. 380,062and 380,963, granted to me April 10, 1888, and a reciprocating motion isimparted to this tool from the shaft I by means of a pitman I. (SeeFigs. 1 and 7.) This pitman engages a crank 8, formed on the shaft I,and it connects with a bell-crank lever 9, which engages a sleeve 10,fitted upon a pillar 12 and engaging lugs 13, which project from theshank of the cutter let. A tool may, however, be used which requires arevolving motion and the means fol-transmitting such mo tion to the toolfrom the shaft I will readily suggest themselves to any ordinarymachinist.

It will be readily seen from the description that the motor II forms abalance to the tool G, and by adjusting the balance-arm in the directionof its length by means of the slot f and screw-bolt f the pressureexerted by the tool upon the table or upon the work over which it movescan be adjusted. At the same time byconnecting the balance-arm F to theinner end of the supporting-arm E, I am enabled to move the tool over atable of considerable width with a comparatively short balance arm, andwhen the tool is being moved over the table that end of the balancearmwhich supports the motor does notswing beyond the edge of the table A,so that it will not interfere with the work of persons engaged near thesaid table. Furthermore, by connecting the supporting-arm It to thetraveling carriage D, I am enabled to move my tool oy'cr every part ofthe table. According to the nature of the work, the carriage I) may beheld stationary, or, in other words, the supporting-arm E maybe securedto a stationary part and made to extend over the table, while thebalance'arm F, which carries the motor II and the tool G, is connectedto the supporting-awn in the manner above described.

A shaft E" may be provided, which is connected to the carriage I) bybelts, as fully described in an application for a patent filed by meSeptember 4-, 1890, Serial No. 363,882, so that in case the motor IIbecomes inoperative the tool can be operated by any suitable powercapable of imparting motion to the shaft E.

I do not herein claim anything claimed in my applications for patents,Serial Nos. 363,882 and 363,883, bearing even dates with this.
